Happy Grandparents!

This image was one of the last ones we were able to take before the children decided that "enough was enough!" I think the looks on the faces of the adults are priceless! They were happy being with the children, no matter what was happening! This image is truely one for the family album!

Angel Baby!

This is an image from our family shoot we did over the Christmas holidays. Our little niece was a big hit as it was her first Christmas! And to prove what an angel she really is...here's the evidence!

Merry Christmas, Everyone!!

This is a close up of one of my very favorite Christmas images we did this year! The joy and excitement on this young girl's face at the prospect of speaking with Santa is representative of the complete innocence of childhood! I hope everyone who reads this blog is enjoying the quiet peace of the day and is able to reflect on our blessings! There's a song in the movie "White Christmas" that we could all learn from..."when I find myself not able to sleep, I count my blessings instead of sheep!" Then, and only then, can we find a cure for the insomnia that has captured the world!

The Reason For the Season

This is a shot I took of a friend's gorgeous light show! I added the star to remind myself that although Christmas means lights, presents and parties, the real event we are celebrating is Jesus's birth many years ago. Keep that star in YOUR Christmas! And have a safe, happy and fun holiday!

ALP's Tribute to The Family!

Here Comes the Storm!

We recently photographed the high school girls basketball team for their annual program. Following the head coach's vision and after a good bit of designing by yours truely, here's the result! Talk about "eye-catching!" I can see these programs literally "flying out the door!"

We Stand United!

I wanted a patriotic feel to this team image and with the flags and the composition of the subjects, I think it worked. As simple as the pose is, it took a while to to position everyone just right so that I could see everyone's face Then, I sat down on the floor in front of the team and shot away! I love the results!

The Challenge

This image was shot just in time to get everyone ready for the bowl games! You can see the determination in this young player's eyes and the grittiness of the composition as a whole. One of my favorites!

Christmas At Home

I love the rich, warm colors of the wood in this image! It lends itself to the warm colors of the subjects faces, clothing and the overall feel of the composition. You can almost hear the crackling of the fire in the fireplace and can imagine snow falling in the yard! All in all....a wonderful family holiday image.

Caught In the Middle!

There's just something about this image that grags at your heart! This little one was the flower girl at our recent wedding and, in a break between pictures, I snapped this shot of her with her mom and dad, who were also in the wedding. I would love to know what the little girl is thinking at precisely this moment! But it's a great image of a young family.....one for the album, for certain!

Christmas Cutie

Christmas is just around the corner and the rush is on! This little doll and her baby brother came in for some Yuletide images this past weekend and I think we got some great results! Sorry it took me so long to post this but the holiday stress is taking it's toll!
